INSTRUCTIONS

1. Place flank steak in slow cooker and cover flank steak with Mojo marinade and cook on low for 8 hours.
2. When ready to serve, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil, onion and jalapeños. Allow to saute until the onion is translucent, about 7 minutes.
3. While onion mixture is cooking, remove flank steak from crock pot and shred (toss any leftover marinade).
4. Once the onion mixture is ready, add garlic and saute for 30 seocnds.
5. Then add the shredded flank steak, tomato sauce, and salt and incorporate all the ingredients together. (I do this with two forks and just do the same motions I use to shred the flank steak).
6. Allow to cook for 5 more minutes and then serve!

INSTRUCTIONS

• In a small shallow bowl, stir together the beaten eggs and heavy cream.
• In another small shallow bowl, stir together the parmesan, bread crumbs, paprika, salt, and pepper.
• Dip each piece of chicken in the egg mixture, coating both sides completely. Shake off excess and then dip into the parmesan mixture, pressing down to fully coat the entire chicken with a thick layer.
• Arrange chicken in prepared baking dishes, making sure they don’t touch (if they touch, those sections won’t get crispy).
• Pour melted butter over all the chicken.
• Cook for approximately 50 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165F.
• Serve garnished with fresh oregano or thyme.

INGREDIENTS

• 6 tablespoons butter
• 1 cup chopped yellow onion
• 1 cup matchstick carrots
• 1 cup diced celery
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 3 tablespoons all purpose flour
• 12 oz (1 can) evaporated milk
• 32 oz (1 quart) chicken stock
• 4 cups shredded cooked chicken
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme (or 1 teaspoon dried thyme)
• 2 teaspoons freshly cracked black pepper (or to taste)
• salt, to taste

HOMEMADE DUMPLINGS:

• 2 cups all purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon, baking powder
• 1 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme (or 1 teaspoon dried thyme)
• 3/4 cup (6 oz) whole milk
• 4 tablespoons butter, melted

INSTRUCTIONS

1. In a large heavy bottomed pot (like a dutch oven), melt butter over medium-high heat. 
2. Add onion, carrots and celery. Cook for 5 minutes, until vegetables being to wilt. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
3. Add flour and stir to combine. Cook for 1 minute. Add evaporated milk and chicken stock and quickly stir to combine. 
4. Bring to a boil and add chicken, thyme, black pepper and salt. Let soup simmer, uncovered, while you make dumplings. 
5. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, pepper, salt and thyme. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour the milk and butter into the center of it. 
6. Using a wooden spoon (or rubber spatula), stir together until dough ball forms. If your dough seems too dry, you can add an extra tablespoon of milk. 
7. Using a large** sized cookie scoop, scoop dough and drop directly into the simmering soup. Place them around the pot, not all in the same place. 
8. Once all dumplings have been added, gently press them down so the soup runs over just the tops of them. 
9. Place the lid on your pot and lower the heat a little to a low simmer (you don’t want the bottom of the soup to burn but also want the soup to still be simmering to cook the dumplings). 
10. Cook for 15 minutes, gently stir the soup/dumplings and then cut one dumpling in half to make sure they are cooked through.
11. If the dumplings are cooked through, serve hot! If not, cook an additional 2-3 minutes and check again.
